Description

Devices for chopping blocks of hard butter, in which z. B. an in Block held and guided in a shaft so that it cannot twist by its own weight against a knife mechanism which is arranged in front of the shaft opening and which can be set in circulation attached to a flat knife holder, from a surface lying above at an angle in Direction of rotation protruding knives

to is pressed and gradually chopped up as it circulates through the knife, have become known.

Devices designed in this way are disadvantageous in that they affect the butter the surface to be comminuted is subject to friction that leads to a Smear and possibly lead to a deterioration in the quality of the butter. Further If the butter is not sufficiently crushed. It usually falls into shape long ribbon noodles that are still difficult to process in a butter forming machine.

The device according to the invention aims to avoid these disadvantages by that two or more wing knives each attached to a knife holder for processing parts of the butter block are arranged next to each other and that the wing knives have a drive which the same about their own axes and at the same time moves in XJm about an axis lying in the middle between them.

This achieves a flake-like fine chopping of the butter without the same by rubbing their surfaces during the carving process. Tests carried out have shown that the butter can be subjected to such a crushing process without any disadvantages and that the flaky, chopped butter is particularly well processed in the butter forming machine will.

The drawing represents an embodiment of the subject matter of the invention.

Claims (1)

A frame 1 resting on two short supports 2 provided with rollers 36 and -on two longer supports 3 provided with a handle 37 ^ open drum 4, which by means of belts 5 and 'screwing'! 6 is firmly connected to the frame 1. The drum is intended for receiving a barrel-shaped butter block 7 in the example shown and is provided inside with strips S which engage in the butter mass when the butter block is pushed into the drum and prevent the butter block from rotating when it is crushed. In front of the lower end of the drum 4, there are two wing knives and 10 in the example arranged ι it could animals also several, z. : B. four, seim. The knife edges 11 are at least almost in one plane. The knives themselves are on supports 12 with stops 13 and faces 14 at an angle to the axis of rotation are held in such a way that they can be displaced that the amount by which the cutting edges protrude over the Ankle area can be adjusted so that the cutting edges 11 do not penetrate a certain amount into the butter mass 7 can intervene. The wing knives 9, 10 and the supports J 2 are fastened on shafts 15, 16, the latter being mounted in Xaben of the end wall of a hood 17 which can be set in circular motion. At the end of the shafts 15, 16 located inside the hood, spur gears ι S, 19 are keyed, which form the planetary gears of a third, fixed spur gear 20. The latter is seated on a shaft 21 which, by means of the end wall 17 'of this hood having the bearing 22 of the hood 17, carries the bearing bushes of the shafts 15, 16 and also the worm wheel 23 with which the worm 24 engages. Situated portion of the worm shaft 25 on a j outside the fixed stationary housing 32 sits a pulley 26, which elle of the W ^T 28 of a motor 29 can be displaced by means of belt drive 27 to rotate. The worm housing 32 is fastened to the frame 1 by means of flanges 31 '(FIG. 11), so it does not take part in the rotations of the worm gear shafts 21. Since the middle gear 20 of the planetary gear mechanism bes is fastened to an end wall 31 of the housing 32 by means of screws 2> 3 , the rotation of the worm gear shaft can also join in, but the hood 17, by means of a wedge 34 on the shaft g ^ f! is moored. "· ^R In the revolutions of the hood 17, the waves introduce 15,16 circular movements about the axis 21 and at the same time rotating movements around its own axis, wherein the planet gears 18, 19 to roll on the fixed wheel 20th to the circular and Drehbcwegungen the Shafts 15, 16 also take part in the knife blades 9, 10, the knife edges 11 peeling off strips 7 from the end face of the butter mass 7 opposite them, which strips fall down in the direction of the arrow λ. A vessel 35 is provided to hold them in. To prevent accidents, a protective hood 38 is provided which is arranged in such a way that it covers the orbiting and rotating knife shafts 15, 16 together with the knives. The already mentioned rollers 36 on the supports 2 and the handle 37 on the supports 3 are intended to be able to easily remove the described butter cutter after use or to be able to bring it to another place of use.
